20 Days

Summer doesn't officially end until September 22nd but the Summer as I know it is almost over.  The circled date on the calendar that I don't like to look at is beginning to draw closer and closer.  Damn you calendar hanging on the wall.  I see you out of the corner of my eye when I enter the room.  You are forcing me to see the end of this time aren't you?
 Melanie will be returning to her mom and her friends in Michigan on August 21st.  My abbreviated summer which began in June with her arrival is quickly drawing to the end.  The time has flown by.  I have tried unsuccessfully to slow the movement of time by sheer will.  I must prepare for the heartbreak as she walks down the Jetway again and we begin our time apart again.
Damn time apart.
Damn it only 20 days left.
